The rise in cases of Graves' disease, which is an immediate cause of hyperthyroidism, has been observed. The US-based National Library of Medicine, owned by the United States federal government, states that Graves' disease (GD) is the leading cause of hyperthyroidism in developed nations. GD is typically prevalent among those aged between 30 and 60, with women being 5-10 times more vulnerable than men. A 79% genetic predisposition is related to the risk for GD, while 21% is attributable to environmental factors. The rise in Graves’ disease cases is causing an increase in hyperthyroidism sufferers. This has led to a surge in demand for anti-thyroid drugs, thereby propelling the market's growth.
